Representing a defining chapter in modern superyacht design, SPIRIT is the original 115' New Zealand Yachts Wavepiercer—a groundbreaking yacht whose innovative platform helped establish one of the industry's most distinctive hull concepts. More than two decades after her launch, SPIRIT continues to influence the next generation of Wavepiercer yachts as New Zealand Yachts reintroduces the platform, cementing her place as one of the builder's most significant and recognizable creations.
Extensively refit with approximately $3 million invested between 2022 and 2025, SPIRIT blends award-winning design, modernized systems, and exceptional offshore capability with the comfort, stability, and remarkable interior volume that define her revolutionary Wavepiercer platform. Designed by Bakewell-White Yacht Design with exterior styling by renowned designer Ken Freivokh, her innovative Wavepiercer design was engineered to reduce fuel consumption by approximately 30% while delivering exceptional ride quality, efficiency, and onboard volume unlike virtually anything else available today.
Equally suited for private ownership or continued luxury charter operations, SPIRIT is currently operating as a successful charter yacht in the Bahamas. Offered with an established charter website, branding, and marketing assets, she presents a rare opportunity to step aboard a truly turnkey superyacht while preserving the flexibility to continue an already successful charter program or simply enjoy her privately.
